Well guys, hereis some good and bad news mixed into one: (It's not that bad from my perspective)

But everything is fine with the project, however: I almost cried when my laptop had hard drive failure. Everything on my laptop is now gone However, luckily I had made a back up of every single component of my Pokemon Normal project on a brand new portable hard drive a few months back!

The sad part of this, is that my newest update is now gone (like progress up to Route 55 - Desert) However, I am going to come back even stronger and utilize what I have done recently (which is now gone) and make it even better! In fact, due to this unfortunate event, I have decided to release a special Beta 1.5. Beta 1.5 contains the same progress, revamped areas, better scripting, Youngster Joey, and more, and with a completely redone Silverdust Town containing a special nighttime only event!

**
As of now, all of my new progress after Silverdust Town (beta 2) is currently sitting on my corrupted laptop hard drive. I am going to try to see if it is possible for me to retrieve it, stay tuned! Either way, Beta 1.5-The Rebirth is coming soon! Long live this project!

Wow now that's some news. Sorry for your laptop, happened to me once as well, but don't give up.From what I can see at your last post, you are determined to continue this hack to the end. I am really happy that there are hackers that are so much dedicated to their hacks. I also really like your hack and it's one of the few that I really want to play! Anyways, good luck with your rebirth patch and congratulations again!

UGGHHHH...

Y?

And I'm pretty sure you can get that hard drive in your laptop since I'm pretty sure it's removable from the laptop itself just get a computer technician to fix it so you can work on your hack. :3

Also I recommend you using Dropbox for backups it's really useful! :3

I did take it to a technician and they told me that there is basically a next to none chance that I can retrieve any data on it due to the HDD having the most bad sectors that he had ever seen. I am just crossing fingers and hoping that I can retrieve at least just one folder off of it. I'm going to try when I get some free time. And yeah, Dropbox sounds like a good idea!

Why national dex has 323 pokemon instead of 386 ??? Also the night pallete needs to be more blue-ish. Story-wise and visual-wise your hack is great ! keep it up.

I wanted to make a Regional Dex of 247 and a National Dex of 323 to give the game its own feeling, Pokemon wise. As for the night palettes, it's aesthetics, so I can always change that at a later date.

Well, sorry for the long hiatus! I was busy with life and getting my laptop back in shape! Now I'm ready to hack like a maniac! Hahahaha.

Beta 1.5 is finally completed. I did Pokedex descriptions up to around #20 or so. Grass animations are completed. Water animations are NOT completed. You may notice some backsprites may be a little too big, this is really minor. The type color box for poison and some other types are missing their second top color. Once again, this is really minor. Minor things can be fixed really easily. Besides that, everything else has been nicely polished. I already know that very very few attacks don't have descriptions which can also be easily fixed.

Other notes:
Silverdust Town has been changed to Silversky Town
Oak's intro is now 96% completed
Title screen will be completed in a later beta
Cries are not done yet. I can do this whenever
Hero sprite will obviously be changed for a later beta
Old Rod does not work yet, I want to do something cool with it
Everything has been greatly updated from beta 1
Will be uploading new screens shortly
Tizzle is my favorite character in this game =)
Beta 1.5 will be uploaded in a few hours
And lastly, here's a sneaky screenshot!

Andddd finally, I beta tested this game countless of times, literally.
There should be no bugs at all, I squashed them all. Not even a single grammar error, lol.
I can't wait to release beta 2, fun fun. Dedicated.
I'm a bit drunk tired right now, haha. More things will be uploaded tomorrow =P

Well it looked good until I saw the pokedex. No one cares about seeing the base stats of their pokemon in a rom hack they can't play online, I like reading little bits of information on my pokemon :(

Pokémon description entries are really redundant now. We read these things repetitively from every Pokémon game that we have played in the past. So I decided to spice it up with something more useful so when you catch a Pokémon, you'll immediately see its stats to see if you are interested in training it. Not everyone is a competitive battler, so I figured I'll help the people that are not too experienced with Pokémon stats.

With that being said. Beta 1.5 is now live! The last event of this beta is opening that locked mysterious door located in Silversky Town... Also, sidenote. This game will have lots of morning/day/afternoon/evening/night events. So you better make sure to revisit some places =P

My goal before the summer is up, is to dish out a beta 2 going up to the seventh gym in Powerstone City battling, the Great Sparkus. I want to make up for some lost time from my laptop hard drive failure. Beta 2 would have been released already =/

Well, here is inside of Lola's gym. As you can see with this hack, if you have not noticed, the graphics are going to be simple, easy, and consistent, I want to have this hack completed...

Overworld sprite changes will be included in Beta 3.

Something I really dislike about this hack is grass in cities/towns. It just annoys me whenever im going through the town/city and pokemon pop up.

Why can't a rom hack have a little different taste from the original games? Isn't that the point of rom hacking? There are only three towns, not cities accessible in this game and only one of them has grass since it is a town based off of a mystical forest and hosts a legend that will be accessed much later in the game... and what's the difference between grass in a town and grass in a route...?

Well, in this game, there are going to be a lot of "non traditional" features that were not in the originals simply because as a player of these games, I always wished that they had mixed things up a bit. For instance, I am going to have unofficial gyms and lots of other things that I have always wanted in the GBA game series.
